Month: February 2011
Viva La Pow Mow!
Last week’s delivery of fresh ‘Wasatch Gold’ was well received by many, and the heinous crowds in the Cottonwoods proved it. However, while the general population of powder-starved locals waited in the line at the base of the canyon, my friends and I enjoyed an absolutely splendid day at Powder Mountain. Less than an hour drive from SLC, this little gem offers up some 7,000 acres of pure shred-able entertainment, without the egocentric masses that inhabit the slopes closer to town. … read more
Matthew Ivan Bennett and Mesa Verde
On February 24, Plan-B, in its permanent home at the beautiful Rose Wagner Theater, will present the world premier of MESA VERDE, a new play by Matthew Ivan Bennett. Disney on Ice this was not. In fact, it was probably the most unique subject matter I’ve seen explored on stage—and a well-acted, emotional powerhouse to boot. Such is Plan-B’s legacy. … read more

Midnight Terror vs. Jailhouse Jawbreakers 02.19
Midnight Terror of the Wasatch Roller Derby League squashed the Jailhouse Jawbreakers, an out of town team from Pueblo, Colorado last Saturday. It was obvious from the beginning of the bout that the teams were of different calibers. Midnight Terror’s strategy seemed to be pretty simple: score some points, call the jam. … read more

Zane Lamprey Interview
I was excited to talk to Zane Lamprey. Not in that cliched, every interviewer has to love the interviewed, type of way. I’m a bit of a drunk. I appreciate drunks that can hold it together and function in society. As sad as it sounds, I appreciate high functioning addicts. They need what they need, and they still get done what needs to get done. Zane Lamprey is a man that hosts two different drinking shows. … read more

O-Town Derby Dames: 25th St. Brawlers vs. Uinta Madness
At a neighborhood recreation center the ladies of O Town’s 25th Street Brawlers and the men of Uinta Madness skated against each other. Uinta Madness controlled the bout from the very beginning. The difference in size and strength of the teams was apparent and I found myself screaming in support of the women’s team by the end of the bout. … read more

Most well known for his work as a poster artist under the business name Swamp, he also founded Conspiracy Skateboards in 1994. The Denver based artist has also become a mainstay at the Salt Lake City Tattoo Convention, and this year’s convention marks his seventh year in attendance. … read more
SLUG Games: Night Riders
On Jan. 8, PCMR hosted the first stop of the 2011 SLUG Games amateur ski and snowboard contest known as Night Riders. Not only would it go down in the books as the first contest to be held in Park City’s newly redesigned night park, but also as one of the greatest SLUG Games events during the course of its eleven year legacy. … read more

Localized: Max Pain and the Groovies
SLUG Magazine celebrates 22 years at this month’s Localized music showcase! “People like to let out a lot of emotion at our shows. There are people throwing each other around and couples dancing super close to each other,” bass player Jake Brimley says when describing a typical Max Pain show. The description is spot on. … read more
